Today, Disney+ and Jon Favreau confirmed the Boba project is an official spinoff and not a third season of The Mandalorian.
Not only during the episode’s events, but also during the post-credits sequence, which served as the official introduction for the upcoming series The Book of Boba Fett.
Specifically, Ming-Na Wen’s Fennec was brought back as a co-badass opposite Temuera Morrison’s Boba Fett for the episode “The Tragedy,” and the two characters returned once more in The Mandalorian’s Season 2 finale.
As well, it was confirmed that Wen will be returning in full for the new project, which she celebrated on Twitter in a way that makes it quite clear how appreciative she is to call Star Wars her day job.
